Frequently Asked Questions...
Can someone recommend a drill for me?
Someone I know wants a power drill that 1) has a cord and 2) can also function as a screwdriver with adjustable heads. Does anyone know of a drill that matches with what the person wants? I have absolutely no knowledge of tools so I don't know what brand and model to buy. I checked Amazon and found a bunch of DeWalt Drywall Screwdrivers but I don't know if it also functions as a drill. Please help! Thanks!
Answer:
Personally, I use my DeWalt 1/2" drill for all sorts of things including driving screws. I got one with a keyless chuck so changing out bits is quick.
A drywall screwdriver won't be a good choice as a drill; doesn't turn fast enough and not enough 'oomph'.
